Design Tour Series

Design Tour - Knytt Stories from David Rosen on Vimeo.

David rosen, developer of indie title Lugaru and its sequel Overgrowth has started a series of videos dicussing the design strengths of various indie games. The one above is from Nifflas' Knytt Stories which is an excellent exploration-based platformer that comes with its own level editor allowing for the creation of ones own levels and an easy way to load third-party levels.

The previous one he did was on the physics puzzler World of Goo which is available on the PC, Mac and Wiiware.

He sounds a bit like Stephen Hawking which I actually find kind of cool and funny at the same time, but he does a good analysis so have a look at the one embedded above and you can see the previous one here.
